Just in case you had any doubts, the Cowboys are going to make Dak Prescott a very rich man in the near future.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has praised Prescott whenever given the opportunity over the last few years. He was gushing again about his young quarterback on Friday during an appearance on ESPN's NFL Live.

"If he was getting ready to go in the draft and I had the No. 1 pick, that's who would get that pick in this draft," Jones said from the NFL's annual scouting combine in Indianapolis. "We're a fortunate franchise to have Dak Prescott and we're going to build around him for the future."

Prescott is entering the final year of his rookie contract that pays him $680,000 annually. He's expected to get a new deal, as early as this offseason, that could average in the neighborhood of $25 million per year.

So what exactly makes Prescott the right guy for the Cowboys?

"The upside," Jones responded. "His willingness to basically every drill he'll prove how he carries what he's coached-up in a meeting, how he carries it to the practice field and then how he executes it on the field.

"The thing we do better, I think, than almost anybody -- and I can say it and we know it's an opinion -- is the two-minute drill. Well, look at Dak Prescott in the two-minute drill since he's been quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys.

"For a three-year quarterback, he's had a lot of snaps and a lot of wins."
